BWA Wrocław

kobiety na wystawie oglądają podświetloną pracę na ścianie

Four galleries of contemporary art in the very centre of Wrocław, connected by a program and an idea. We present art and design in their new, sometimes surprising, manifestations. BWA Wrocław exhibitions, events and publications often take the form of socially engaged art. Our galleries and Żyjnia – a city health resort in Świdnicka Street – function as the so-called third place. One may visit them regardless of the events taking place, bring a dog, relax and have some drinking water. It feels like home with us.
